this is how it goes in the mod NWA - Main PVP Battlefield Northern Town - Ghost Towns with almost no loot Balota Airfield - Ghost Town with almost no loot Elektro and Cherno - Bambi PVP Battlefield in the SA game NWA - Veteran's PVP Battlefield (Highly experienced players, clans, groups) Northern Towns - Veteran Looting Grounds Balota Airfield - Bambi PVP Battlefield Elektro and Cherno - Bambi Looting Grounds I prefer the SA style. It's more balanced. By making all buildings enter-able and adding more loot spawn points the game makes the northern towns a viable option to survive now aside from the southern cities. Now there is balance, the northern have more civilian loots plus the removal of stary sobor military loot makes it a balanced place. The addition of military loot in the south makes it balanced too. Making Balota a military loot place essentially makes it a PVP zone so it will decrease the number of hostile players in the nearby towns Cherno and Elektro(they will go to balota instead for their killing pleasures), new players can now loot more peacefully and not die the moment they spawn in the coast. If you remove Balota loot it will do absolutely NOTHING. Hostile players will go terrorize elektro and cherno again. People who want military loot will just go to NWA anyway, crowded with Veterans and Bambi's alike Loot amount isn't high... unless you do server hopping and go to unlooted servers with 0 players which really isn't solvable with your solution because they will just go to NWA and server hop instead. it does nothing. And just to add, I roll with a group of 5 or more depending on who's online in our clan. we play dayz since the mod. in the mod we tend to hit elektro and cherno and then NWA. that's the only three locations we really go around. In the SA, we tend to roam around the map. going place to place. elektro, cherno, balota, miltary base, zelenogorsk, stary, NWA, and backtrak on a new server. OR instead go to devil's castle, gorka, berezino, solnichy, rog castle and back to elektro. In the mod I never really paid attention to the other towns. now I do. I really like the current style. the only thing missing is more loot/weapon types and then vehicles
